The in-laws were in Palm Springs in April during my birthday. The new tradition, as I mentioned last year, is the coconut cream pie (instead of boring ol’ birthday cake). So, on my first day back to work, I came home to a delayed birthday pie. It tasted amazing. The MIL really goes all out for this. The next day I had to bring it to work to help finish it off (and to incent people I hadn’t seen for a while to stop by). After all, I am trying to lose the pregnancy pounds, not gain it all back. One co-worker saw it and did not believe it was homemade. I believe Mike O., a proclaimed pie-lover, called it, “world class pie.”

Fantastic birthday pie

It was pretty fantastic.
